Pros

At the time I worked here I worked with some of the smartest and highest functioning engineers I have ever met. They have almost all been let go since then.

Cons

You will find out you don't have a job by your computer being locked on a Monday morning. Forced to work with in house data store instead of a much more resilient open source option. You will constantly have sprint interruptions.

Pros

Good work-life balance. Good salary. Great benefits. Work is always challenging. Career review & promotion chances every 6 months. Possibility to learn with one of the top software stacks in the world.

Cons

Their great culture sometimes bring too many distractions that are not related with computer science: frequent talks about inclusion, events about supporting causes, etc... I respect all of you but just let me code, please!

Pros

Very collaborative culture. Employees can ask questions of management without fear of retribution. Software centric approach to data

Cons

Not so much a con but there's a rising threat from newer players in the APM market. As a result, New Relic is in the process of restrategizing and repivoting to address this threat and competition
